Getting a board was a long time coming for me. The website tells you everything you need to know, even if you're a newbie! The delivery was faster than expected, but Rich still kept me updated at every step of the way. The personal note in the box was just the cherry on the top.
Excellent quality with exceptional service! Thank you, guys!

Lush Longboards Minnow Short Longboard
The Minnow is Lush Longboards smaller longboard, perfect for smaller riders and adults who want a smaller overall setup.
We like pintails. You just can’t beat that classic surfy shape under your feet as you cruise along. Surfy lines just look fast, even standing still!
However the problem with pintail shapes, especially in smaller lengths, is that they get very narrow at the nose and tail, leaving you with not much space to stand.
Skinny pintails can look kinda cool in a shop window or on the internet, but you’ll see why we don’t like them as soon as you stand on one… Less space for your feet means less comfort, less board lean and less response from the trucks.
In other words, less of all the good things we all want our skateboards to have.
So when the guys at Lush came to shape the Minnow as a “compact pintail,” they really went right back to the drawing board. What they have created is a board with classic, surfy lines, in a shape that looks good and more importantly feels great under your feet and even better to skate.
Available in three builds.
Lush Longboards Minnow Short Longboard: Precision Complete Spec
The top of the food chain. If you want a longboard and you want to know you've got the proper stuff and never need an upgrade again, you're best served by the Minnow in all its Precision glory. A fantastic platform for exploring every type of skating - you'll cruise for miles without even noticing on this magic carpet. It's got high end race wheels, forged precision trucks and bearings that roll fast, stay true and are almost maintenance-free. Completes, quite literally, do not get better than this.- Wheels: Cult Cultron 74mm Longboard Wheels White
- Trucks: Sabre Trucks Forged Precision Mk3 150mm 48°
- Bearings: Lush Longboards Easy Rider Bearings
Lush Longboards Minnow Short Longboard: Elite Complete Spec
The Elite level complete is what you want if you really want to get rolling, picking up speed and digging hard into your carves. The Sabre Longboard trucks will allow you to really lean into turns, and will feel stable and forgiving under your feet. Not to mention the gigantic smooth wheels! It'll roll further, faster and smoother than any stock complete available - that's a guarantee.- Wheels: Cult Cultron 74mm Longboard Wheels White
- Trucks: Sabre Standard Longboard Truck 48 180mm
- Bearings: Lush Longboards Easy Rider Bearings
Lush Longboards Minnow Short Longboard: Pro Complete Spec
The Minnow Pro is a setup that simply can't be beaten on value for money. In this price range you won't find another deck that's been designed by longboarders to this level. Just look at it! The wheels are big, smooth high quality beasts from Cult and it's tied together with surfy and divey Sabre Street trucks. You'd be silly not to.- Wheels: Lush Smoothie 71mm Longboard Wheels

Is the Elite setup worth the extra £77.50?
For only an extra £77.50, you can upgrade the "Pro" setup to the "Elite" Level build.
The Elite setup is a pretty heavy wheel and bearing upgrade over the Pro.
You get Lush Longboards Easy Rider Bearings - fully shielded, easy to clean, with built in bearing spacers. They roll faster and last longer than the Pro level metal shielded ABEC5 bearings.
The Elite complete also includes Cult Cultron 74mm Longboard Wheels White, poured from a higher grade urethane. Premium urethane rolls fater, lasts longer, and generally injects a whole new level of life into the board - once you've skated decent wheels, you won't want anything else!
The trucks are a huge part of any longboard or cruiser setup - and extra spend on the Elite takes you to a pair of Sabre Standard Longboard Trucks.
These trucks make a HUGE difference to how your board will skate - you'll be able to turn harder and carve deeper, whilst being more stable. That's the magic of a proper longboard truck!
Less obvious is the wheel upgrade. Your extra £77.50 gets you a set of Cult Cultron over the Pro build's Lush Smoothie. Apart from the obvious size difference, the Cult Cultron are poured from a higher grade of urethane - an invisible difference that you will immediately notice as soon as you push the board off.
Just like the bearings, the wheel upgrade makes your board roll faster and last longer - what's not to like??
If you look at the SRP difference of these components and add them together you'll see that the upgrade from Pro to Elite represents serious value - trust us, it's well worth it.
Coupled with this, we've noticed that almost everyone who makes it into our shop ends up with an Elite setup - the value is clear once you have the board in your hands!
How about the Precision build?
If you're ready to skate the best setup out there the best of the best, step it up to the Precison Build!
For an extra £70, you get the same wheels and bearings as the Elite build, but with a set of Sabre Trucks Forged Precisions.
Given that a set of these trucks would normally set you back £180, that's a serious value for a serious setup!
